Normunds Brasliņš

Following his artistic feeling, Normunds Brasliņš has established himself in a “territory” of art ruled by a timeless classical tradition – universal values, ideal beauty, harmony and perfection, a longing for a “golden age”. While remaining faithful to classical genres and traditional themes, figuralism and the integrity of craft, his art combines a preference for past heritage with the search for pure form and a desire to contemporize the classical mode of expression.

The author has polished his individual style in constant studies of the old masters, while also analyzing visual reality by a creative use of his experience in black-and-white photography and photo sessions with models. In the assimilation and recreation of impressions acquired in “museum art”, he has mostly been attracted by masters of the Early Renaissance, finding a similar sense of form, spiritual saturation and understanding of craft in their works. As in the art of the Renaissance and Classicism, Normunds Brasliņš is interested in the human figure.
